Who am I?

My name is Alex Rothuis, a software engineer who
appreciates well-crafted code regardless of programming language.
Currently, I work as a Software and Information Engineering
lecturer at the HU University of Applied Sciences.

I value high-quality, empathic and ethical software,
built using a principled approach, a thorough process
and a suitable architectural foundation and
continuously verified through (automated) tests.

While in law school,
software development captured my interest
because I wanted to make a legal knowledge system.
This triggered me to learn as much about
software quality, architecture and development
as possible.

I finished my legal masters,
but decided to pursue a career in software.
I am a full-time software engineer —
if I’m not on the job, I often work on a side-project,
watch a conference talk or read a book, article
or blog post about software.

Interested in meeting, sparring or just talking?
LinkedIn and
Twitter
are preferred ways of reaching out to me.
